I finally finished reading it, and the fact that it took me so long probably stands for itself. I am actually okay with a variety of approaches to historicals, whether that's just using a few well-known figures to provide a loose background, or actually sticking pretty close to the history, or even using a historical figure as the main protagonist. But although I had fun spotting the historical parallels, and even looked up a few secondary characters to see if they were "real", I do agree with others that the history got in the way of the mystery. So I'd have preferred a bit more "author's license" to make a better mystery, and then a historical note at the end, where the author let me know what license was taken.
Anyway, it's probably moot, because, as you mention, $17.99 is insane. Quote:

And Secrets, which is the second in the series is on sale again as well. I wouldn't normally post it since it wasn't that long ago, but since I posted this one, here's a link to the previous post for Secrets. |
